I Want Him Dead Scene (The Jungle Book 2016)

Raksha was sleeping until Gray came and whispered “Ami wake up” in her ear. Raksha woke up and got up to search for her pups. She said “Pups?” and turns around to show her butt. Grey looks at Raksha’s butt and says “They’re up there” Raksha turns around and sees Share Khan with the 3 of her pups. She hears him telling them a dark story of chickens. Then Raksha says “Come now, time for sleep” the 2 pups escape but one of them is trapped in Share Khan’s arm. Share khan let’s him through then he says “I think they like me”

It shows that he's not _that_ heartless. If he wanted to kill the pups, he would have done that when he had a chance

[melnaobrooks]

Around 1:33, it showed an example of when Shere Khan was telling a story to the pups, he pointed out how Raksha loved a pup that wasn't her own

[jarekmiller]

It was interesting that in this adaptation Mowgli leaving to head to the man village with Bagheera indirectly make the conflict worse cause it caused Shere Khan to murder Akela as revenge for letting Mowgli leave and he takes over the wolf pack as a result. And Shere Khan is indirectly what allowed Mowgli to meet Baloo due to his encounter with Kaa cause he separated Bagheera from Mowgli when he attacked back at the buffalo field.

[BrightOTH]

in this scene, Shere khan are some good sides to the cruel side.

[David-xcwe]

Kinda reminds of when Negan was holding Judith for the first time!

[samrabban]

Akela and his wife: all this time you want us to turn him to you just so you can murder him

[-Nachtmensch-]

1:18 *"...All because a Mother loved a Chick ... that wasn't her own..."*

I love The Jungle Book 2016 my favorite live action film by Jon Favreau.

[thomashuffman]

This scene, while pretty much a parallel between the scene from Gladiator where Commodus threatens his sister by telling Lucius a story, also used an element from the book: in the book, Shere Khan let younger wolves eat scraps from his kills, which Akela would have never allowed. Additionally, in the book, while doing that, Shere Khan would gaslight the young wolves into thinking that Akela was a bad leader for letting Mowgli live among them.

[enderethan]

I find it ironic that even though they’re made by the same person, these animals in this movie show more facial expressions than the animals in the Lion King remake.

[TheMagnaficent]

Poor wolf pups they’re playing around a dangerous killer and entirely innocent unaware of who they’re hanging with

[freddybonilla]

Bagheera: the panther 🐈‍⬛

Baloo: the bear 🐻

Akela: the wolf leader 🐺

Kaa: the snake 🐍

King Louie: the orangutan 🦧

Shere Khan: the tiger 🐅

[LovatianaThierryGunSmoke]

Why does this reminds me the scene in Gladiator where Commodus threaten his sister by telling his nephew a story ?

[frybit]

Shere Khan is not being a cool uncle. He is indirectly insulting Raksha and attempting to turn the pups away from her.

[TheMagnaficent]

At least he’s trying to take on a more positive role as leader of the wolf pack he’s trying to be the cool uncle instead of the strict harsh disciplinarian who would constantly yell at the kids scare them and not let them play it’s obvious there like him to some extent since they’re hanging with him

Jon Favreau The Jungle Book 2 live-action July 10 2026

[FernandoMata-tt]

It is kinda similar to what happened in the original book where shere khan manipulate the young wolves

[Arlan]

Shere khan 2016 evil as mufasa evil /rakha as zira kind

[sidewaysbird]

Wait do you know the site charater ai i talked to your AI

[vagabond_shinmen]

Everyone sees Mufasa as the hero and Shere khan as the Vilain but the reality is totally different only brainless imature kids can’t understand the meaning of jungle book movie, mufasa fought and died protecting his family but sher khan tried to protect the entire animal kingdom in jungle, the entire jungle from humans cause he knew what danger can a human be to nature and experienced it once, jungle book is much more interesting, mature and realistic moovie and not as childish like lion king movie which is also a great movie but for kids .
